Utilising our extensive experience with
mounting beams we have developed a range
of rapid fit frames for use with our modular AWS
magnets. The frames can be configured for single,
double or triple magnet installations and are
available to be easily installed on a wide range
of rail fastening and sleeper designs.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Eliminates/reduces the need for track possession
Removes the need to drill into concrete sleepers
Can be installed onto any combination of sleeper type and rail fastening or directly to the rail foot
Insulated and vibration resistant to EN50125-3
High resistance to chemicals and climatic changes
Reduces manpower requirement for installation and maintenance
Does not require specialised tools to install or remove

TRACK MOUNTING PRODUCTSBy minimizing installation time we reduce or even eliminate the need for track possession. We create products suitable for all environments regardless of sleeper type, rail fastening and whether they are being used on ballasted or slab track. Operational efficiency, flexibility and reliability are critical factors in the design of every product.
Originally designed for the installation of TPWS
(Train Protection & Warning System) in the UK,
the Balise Mount System (BMS) comprises a GRP
beam with stainless steel yokes that use the
existing rail fastenings or the rail foot to hold the
beam in track. The BMS allows for very quick
installation and removal of devices from track,
typically taking less than 2 minutes.

MAGNETS
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Quick and easy to install, one man operation, no tools required
Durable and lightweight
No ballast penetration, negating the need to scan for buried services
Fits a wide range of rail profiles (including bullhead)
Lockable
References: UK throughout network.
Robust, lightweight signboard supports
that can be quickly and easily installed
where there is a need to place an
emergency or temporary speed restriction.
The supports are available in standard
(2m), short (1.2m) and third rail variants
(1m) and can be used with our stabiliser
spar for increased rigidity.
MODULAR AWS MAGNETS
SIGNBOARD SUPPORTS
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Can be installed in minutes when coupled with Vortok’s rapid fit mounting system, reducing possession time significantly
Modular “plug and play”, simplifying the installation process
Flexible range: Suppressor, Electro and Permanent in either standard strength (yellow) or extra strength (green)
Minimal maintenance required – fully sealed units
Reduced size of the magnets eliminates the need for digging ballast or slab track
The use of rare earth magnet technology has enabled
a reduction in size, whilst improving performance
compared to that of traditional magnets.
The modular “plug and play” feature uses MIL-DTL-5015
connectors, that reduce installation times and comply
with the latest Network Rail requirements.
The magnets are sealed against water ingress,
reducing the need for maintenance and repair.
The flexible range includes Suppressed, Electro and
Permanent variants that can be supplied in standard
strength (yellow) and extra strength (green) which
can be powered with supplies ranging from 24V DC
to 110V AC. Both standard and extra strength
magnets can be supplied with flux shields/covers.

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Rapid Installation
Continuous measurement of stress and core temperature
Remote data and alarms accessed via SMS, Email and FTP
Rail is not disturbed during installation, therefore can be used in switches, tight curves, bridges etc.
The Rail Stress Monitor extends Vortok’s capability
using the new Measure & Detect Sensor which
integrates stress and temperature measurement
into a single compact and rugged device. The Rail
Stress Monitor provides continuous real-time
measurement and logging of rail stress and
temperature providing railway operators with
information and alarms which facilitate the
management of rail stress.
SFT MONITOR

One of the most exciting innovations in today’s rail industry, we have designed and produced a range of remote monitoring products that provide real time information and allow you to take action where and when it is needed.

RAIL STRESSING PRODUCTSRather than accepting that a problem is inevitable or that a process is set in stone, our designers apply radical thinking to the management of rail stressing. As a result we’ve developed a number of internationally acclaimed products that have made us the undisputed leaders in this field.
Vortok’s axle detector uses weight measurement
to detect axles.
The Axle Detector CPU is a small unit which can
be mounted in a balise beam or on a line side
post. It has its own GPS and 3G wireless
connections and provides axle count data via
the Vortok M&D server.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
Rapid installation
Immune to EMC
Operates from 0 to 250 km/h
Low profile
Lightweight
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Rapid installation
Scalable, distributed system
Operates from 0 to 250 km/h
High probability of detection
High Accuracy
The Vortok Wheelflat Monitor is a simple scalable
system which starts with one bay of
MultiSensors. The monitor uses strain gauges for
measurement accuracy when a wheel is over the
bay but also includes two-axis accelerometers to
detect wheel damage within 10m of the
measurement area. This allows the monitor to
offer both a high probability of detection and a
high quality of measurement while providing
fast, low-cost installation with minimal space
requirements. Installation of the hardware can
use the Vortok Balise Mounting System or a small
CPU mounted by the trackside.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
Increases passenger safety through more even stress distribution
Increases track work safety by eliminating the danger of trapped fingers under the rail
Quick operation
Simplifies the process
A product that lasts considerably longer than conventional under rollers.
Supplied in stackable lightweight crates, making handling faster and safer whilst lowering equipment losses

Vortok Stressing Rollers (VSR) were designed for
Network Rail in the UK. The product won the
Queen’s Award for Enterprise and is used all over
the world.
VSR’s have been designed to improve the
accuracy and efficiency of the rail stressing
operation. Previously a rail jack, under rollers and
side rollers were necessary when stressing the rail.
The VSR’s integrate all of these functions into one
product offering significant improvements.
VSR’s are available in different variants to suit
many rail fastening and rail profile combinations.
